Digiday’s October 2022 Media Buying Summit Recap

Digiday’s October 2022 Media Buying Summit Recap

November 17, 2022 |
Helen Bartkiewicz

Digiday’s most anticipated annual event, The Digiday Media Buying Summit, took place this year from October 12th-14th in sunny Palm Springs, California! AdDaptive Intelligence was thrilled to be the Premier Partner for the event, enabling us to host a cocktail reception, lounge area, chair drop, VIP gifting opportunities, and more. It was a productive, enjoyable, and relaxing 3 days where agencies and vendors from across the nation gathered to share ideas about key topics and trends in the industry with peers.

The hottest solution-based topic of conversation at the conference was video. From video ads to CTV, these media type combinations have been gaining much attention in the second half of 2022 – especially considering the anticipated arrival of new ad-supported inventory brought about by recent deals reached between streaming platforms and media companies such as the deal announced between Netflix and Microsoft. Streaming audio was also discussed as an increasingly beneficial addition to media mixes in 2023 and beyond. 

Many presentations over the course of the 3-day conference focused on strategically planning for the future. Lately, media buyers have felt the need to plan for the unknown considering the questionable economic future ahead. Many conference attendees were eager to hear from AdDaptive and other vendors about our views on the future of the industry, and how to plan accordingly. 

The industry outlook centered on the hopeful emergence into a post-COVID world and the cookieless future that we have all been anticipating for the last few years. As such, there was a lot of buzz about the potential unknowns for 2023, specifically in terms of ad spend and the health of agencies and the brands they serve. This in turn led to conversations about how to adjust strategic business decisions to mitigate the future effects of any current missteps in terms of ad spend budget allocation. Many media buyers are shifting their focus towards targeting accounts at specific stages in the sales funnel based upon the represented brand’s target KPIs. Reallocating budgets to nurture accounts with the highest intent to spend has a greater potential to distribute ad spend most effectively and maximize ROAS as a result. 

Analytics will continue to play a huge role in the future of B2B advertising, especially when it comes to cookieless targeting. Actionable reports provide the insights necessary to optimize campaigns for ideal media type combinations, targeted KPIs, and ROAS. 

As the Premier Partner of Digiday’s 2022 Media Buying Summit, AdDaptive’s on-site representatives were thrilled to share our professional insights regarding the ever-changing B2B realm. We pride ourselves on being recognized as a trusted thought leader and strategic partner and look forward to each and every opportunity to engage in thoughtful, in-depth discussions about the industry. 

October’s Digiday Media Buying Summit presented many of these conversational opportunities in-person, but the discussion didn’t end in Palm Springs. AdDaptive is always ready to talk strategically about enhancing your advertising strategy, media mix, budget allocation, and analytics reporting.

Incorporating CTV In Your Omnichannel ABM Approach

Incorporating CTV In Your Omnichannel ABM Approach

February 24, 2022 |
Helen Neely

By adding Connected TV (CTV) alongside your display, native, and video advertising campaigns, your entire B2B strategy is strengthened and you are able to reach your target audience from additional angles outside of a web browser.

Employing a combination of media touchpoints significantly increases the reach of a brand’s messaging. Adding CTV to your omnichannel ABM strategy allows your business to drive the message home, both literally and figuratively. When a key account views and engages with a brand’s ads on multiple platforms at various times throughout the flight of a campaign, their chances of being converted to a sale become much higher. The more touchpoints that a brand has with a lead, the faster the lead is warmed and pushed through the sales funnel.

Over the last several years, B2B targeting has expanded beyond traditional business devices and work hours alone. B2B ads are now being engaged with across a wide variety of devices and timeframes. Most recently, ABM has also entered the home in the form of CTV. This has quickly become an integral part of many agencies’ media plans, in large part due to the nation-wide shift from the office to a work-from-home business structure. This work-from-home style is here to stay for many companies, which means that professionals for key accounts will remain spread out across different offices and locations. A variety of targeting channels is now necessary to reach the right people in the right place.

Industry analysts continue to predict substantial growth for programmatic CTV, as more and more agencies continue to add CTV to their business strategies. As we look towards the removal of third-party cookies from Google Chrome, cookieless advertising solutions such as CTV coupled with transparent analytics reports provide companies with a future-proof, omnichannel ABM strategy. AdDaptive’s comprehensive analytics solutions are available for display, native, video, audio, and programmatic CTV allowing your brand to optimize campaigns across all media platforms at any point during the flight by learning exponentially more about your audience with each subsequent campaign.

Pair your omnichannel marketing approach with AdDaptive’s Analytics solutions for enhanced strategic targeting along each step of the campaign journey and across each advertising platform, including CTV. Then, with Campaign Analytics your company can gain up-to-the-minute insights into how your key accounts are engaging with your CTV campaign and adjust your strategy accordingly at any step of the campaign journey.

CTV And Audio Parity And Pairing Potential

CTV And Audio Parity And Pairing Potential

How CTV and Audio Ads are Equally Promising for B2B Marketers

CTV has transformed the B2B ad tech industry by extending the realm of influence and reach to additional devices that were once considered solely B2C. Now that the digital workplace has taken over, ad exposure integrates differently in the work day of a B2B professional. OTT streaming is a natural filament to our new and ever-evolving virtual world, and both CTV and audio are equally primed to expand the realm of possibilities.

Connected TV

If content is king, then video content reigns supreme–and recent stats prove it. Programmatic CTV spending continues to grow despite a world-wide pandemic. eMarketer projects that CTV ad spending in the US will reach $10.81 billion by 2021 (source), and the increasingly digital nature of the workplace supports continued growth in programmatic streaming. The B2B workplace is no exception. B2B marketers are employing new devices in their workday, opening the door for increased touchpoints.

Programmatic Audio

Programmatic audio advertising is also proving to be ripe with opportunity. According to eMarketer, by 2021, the average US adult will spend 86.88 minutes a day with digital audio (source). Audio is a medium that continues to maintain its worth in 2020 and integrates into B2B strategies already deploying programmatic CTV. Audio ads can deliver impressions to key accounts without requiring visuals in a highly targeted yet minimally disruptive format.

CTV and Audio Pairing Potential

The diversity of devices in the “new” workplace means increased avenues for impressions and trackable ads. CTV and Audio are uniquely poised to fill in gaps in your media type combination and reach your B2B audience wherever they are most engaged–whether it be through programmatic video streaming or audio. So, while the type of ads you choose should strategically align with your target B2B audience, the pairing potential of CTV and programmatic audio is proving to make it a powerful combination for B2B advertisers.

Programmatic CTV ad buying has created waves in B2B ad tech as internet connected devices have extended along with the virtual workplace. Previously, Linear (traditional) TV was touted for its reach — the ability to reach large audiences indiscriminately. However, reach must be coupled with accuracy in order to produce powerful results, and programmatic ad buying does just that with its ability to target B2B professionals with verified online and offline data. AdDaptive’s B2B CTV solution provides unrivaled accuracy through its programmatic approach and unparalleled post-campaign reporting. Leveraging a programmatic, data-driven approach to ad inventory positions CTV for advanced B2B targeting and accuracy — and for the first time ever, analytics.

Expanding beyond Linear TV and towards a programmatic, data-driven approach to ad inventory positions CTV for advanced B2B targeting and accuracy–and for the first time ever, analytics.
